Reagan | Food, Travel & Experiences in OC, LA, IE, SD & Beyond! on Instagram: "BREAKING: Tokyo’s teamLab is officially coming to ANAHEIM!! 🇯🇵✨ Just announced today: the world-famous art collective teamLab, founded in Tokyo in 2001, will open its first permanent U.S. museum at OCVIBE, the 100-acre sports, entertainment and arts district being built next to the Honda Center. Why this is such a big deal: ✨ It is a brand-new exhibition created specifically for Anaheim, not a traveling version of the Tokyo museums ✨ The building itself is purpose-built and designed around the art by architecture firm smith-clementi ✨ teamLab’s only permanent museums right now are in Japan, China and Saudi Arabia. The U.S. has never had one ✨ At their Tokyo museums there is no map and no set route. The artworks wander from room to room, and at their tea house, a flower blooms inside your actual cup of tea 📍 OCVIBE, 2610 E Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806 🗓️ Opening 2030 2030 sounds far away, but people plan entire trips to Japan around this.
